2024 & 2025 Subcompact SUV Comparison

You rank them all on things I don't care about. I care about basic reliability, and good looks.

[@kaseyh.1021]

Looks are subjective

[@Buc_Stops_Here]

The problem is dealing with quality is a totally different matter. The last ranked Mazda with its older technology will last a long time without problems. The higher ranked CVT units will have a hard time making to 100,000 without transmission problems, and in all cases they will fail by about 150,000 unless you change the fluid every 15,000 miles in the transmission - which most people won't do. The Theta engine co-developed by Mitsubishi, Hyundai/Kia, and Nissan is so bad in the Kona that you can read about it on the internet. Class action lawsuits (which they have lost) against that engine which prematurely self-destructs in a majority of the cars before 100K would eliminate this top ranked car from most people's lists if they did their research.

#1 Mazda CX-30 #2 Subaru Crosstrek #3 Toyota Corolla Cross

[@njoonojnojnobob]

I love my cx30 after testing with similar cars in the video it def felt fast and powerful, but also the most luxurious with so much little details and even the wipers tuck under the hood and hide when not in use or auto wipers too. Hyundai has stepped up their game but they need to stop putting the rear turn signal on the bottom of the car when I drive around others its so hard to see sometimes their blinker. And our friends new one overheated on a short road trip so I still don't really trust their engines.

[@doug6191]

2:38 - The CX-30 is not convincing as the "upscale" vehicle Mazda wants to be considered. 3:40 - Nissan beat Mazda in this publication's opinion. Good job, Nissan! They're on the struggle bus financially, but they haven't given up at the design team. I wouldn't buy one because of the brand's notorious reliability. 5:47 - Chevrolet paid some designers. That's new for them! They made an interesting-looking package out of the humdrum Trax. The engine is a deal-breaker for me. That tiny engine will be overtaxed throughout its life. 7:58 - Honda has done a good job evolving the HR-V over the model's life. It's bizarre that the HR-V has grown to the size of the original CR-V. I like the interior and consider it more appealing than the supposedly "upscale" CX-30. 9:55 - They should have reused the Matrix name. It doesn't have the same youthful personality as that Matrix, but it fills the same slot in the lineup. This feels like one of those vehicles that will do its job for years without ever worrying or dazzling anyone. It's...a Toyota. 9:55 - The Crosstrek seems out of place here. It seems more like a car among the field. Subaru's busy styling is supposed to look rugged, but it seems more Aztek-y than rugged. For those who venture into trails, this one will get you in & out. There's nothing fun about it, though. 9:55 - Hyundai should be proud of the progress they made in the last 10-15 years (which is only 2009!) They have been daring to try new designs and still keep their approach of packing features into the car and offering a long warranty.

Leather everywhere and soft touch surfaces everywhere. Auto rain sensing wipers and they hide and tuck under the hood. a lot of the stuff is hard to spot since they make it so seamless. But also with having a new and old mazda vs fam and friends with things like subaru and honda my dealers prices for oil changes and maintenance is CONSIDERABLY lower lmao.

The Mazda is my favourite, aged like wine. Love the Alfa Romeo like styling honestly. The Honda HR-V's engine is probably the most reliable out of all of these cars (my Civic has the same K20 engine with 95,000 miles, super reliable so far). But even in my car it is sluggish. Imagine trying to merge on the highway with the HR-V. O_O

I'm a big CX-30 fan, but I can get why it's last depending your view point. It excels as at being the emotional choice(better design, cabin, powertrain, etc), but the other crossovers are better at being a point-A-to-B cheap appliance.

[@steve-s6o4b]

Got the Trax and love it. Would I love that it came with an AWD option? Yes, but overall it came down to what you got with your money and I think Chevy did a great job on this vehicle. Also the dealer I go to has been great and are in touch of addressing all the minor issues that have come up. I looked and test drive a majority of theses vehicles, and to me they were a little pricey (especially the Toyota, Honda and Mazda). Almost came down to the Subaru Crosstrek or the VW Taos. Had to wait for the Crosstrek to come in since they were slow replenishing their inventory for some reason and then the high prices. The Taos was a no-go with all of the engine issues they were having and the maintenance program being voided if I moved out of state (weird rule). So overall happy with my choice and it’s been a great car. Also note my least favorite car was the Toyota. And for the price they were charging was just rediculous.

[@kmckenzie2461]

To each their own but my personal likes and dislikes below are based on value, roominess, all weather capabilities and ground clearance, features and equipment, reliability and so on. Chevy Trax for the value play, old school standard sized sunroof vs huge pano roofs that creak and pop with noise over time, huge rear seat and interior, very nice screens, cool modern interior design, unique colors, large cargo area and a price leader with excellent equipment and maxed out with everything for around $27,000.00! Wow! However my worries would be some problems I have heard based around the 1.2L turbo 3 cylinder engines longterm reliability with its turbo and wet timing belt design and some electrical issues on the interior with 2024 models like infotainment screens and power accessories. Time will tell but overall this is a great pick and unbeatable value and since it was an all new model for 2024 the bugs should be worked out soon! Subaru Cross Trek for its off road capability, proven awd system and highest ground clearance, solid feel, all weather snow capabilities, reliability, ride quality of a more expensive vehicle, large screen, safety, and its naturally aspirated engine which I prefer for longevity and reliability. Overall I think this is a good vehicle worth the price in all trims. My issues would be that some people online complain of slow laggy screens with glitches. Nissan Kicks for its new modern upbeat styling, cool color options, newly available AWD, upscale interior in SR Premium especially, zero gravity seats, amazing 360 degree camera, rear automatic braking, cool 10 speaker Bose audio system and large screens, time tested and proven 2.0L Naturally aspirated 4 cylinder, great ground clearance for all weather snowy climates (only Cross Trek is better), and roomy cargo area. However I dislike how the price has really jacked up on the top trim by about $6,000.00 over the previous generation Kicks even though it is a new platform with a larger engine, AWD, more features and a pano roof thats quite a price jump. My loaded 2023 Nissan Kicks SR top trim with Premium Package, Premium Paid, Splash Guards and Floor Mats had an MSRP of $26,130.00. Also it being an all new model for 2025 there could be some bugs that need worked out like the Trax but time will tell. I wish they would have made the rear seat leg room and head room better for an all new model. My 2023 Nissan Kicks seems roomier than this in leg room even though it’s supposedly not I can however say mine definitely has more headroom by far than the new model. Honda HR-V for its roomy front seating area and roomy cargo area, solid interior quality, refined, great safety features, simple yet sporty exterior design and its Naturally aspirated 2.0L 4 cylinder engine for reliability. My issues would be seeing online lots of people have issues with Honda seats after purchase for being uncomfortable and wheels looks plain and basic on top trim EX-L. Toyota Corolla Cross for its Toyota Reliability, hybrid and regular gas options, great mpg’s, for the Hybrid, roomy enough cargo area and pretty good exterior looks. My negatives would be its dated looking interior, lack of features, cramped interior, loud engine when accelerating and somewhat dated seeming design overall. Plus Toyota reliability is not near what it used to be and is really taking a hit over the past year and thats a shame mostly due to some supplier issues and the introduction of new Turbo engines on alot of their models and price hikes. Also what is up with the huge tail lights on this like the Rav-4 then the red parking light / brake light are one tiny led??? Have you been behind either of these Toyotas on the road its actually dangerous and so basic and cheap looking with all the wasted tail light lense space and one small led for the brake lights. Hyundai Kona has very sharp futuristic styling inside and out, airy feeling interior, roomy, lots of modern features, cool key fob design, priced well for what you get, long 10 year warranty, and nice screens. My issues would be all the Hyundai and Kia fires that pop up right and left and issues with engine reliability especially the 1.6L Turbo 4 cylinder. Also Hyundai seems to have a good many recalls as time goes. Reliability would be mu biggest worry here. The Mazda CX-30 is an upscale option, has luxury interior materials, sporty coupe SUV looks, great on safety, and has proven to be reliable especially with the Naturally aspirated 4 cylinder engine. However I think its overpriced especially in its highest trims compared to the competition online a fully loaded model when I built one can hit almost $38,000.00, has a very cramped interior with small windows, small rear seat and cargo area and a dated looking infotainment system. I will say though Mazdas seem to be very safe and reliable. I personally would save the money and go for the Mazda 3 AWD sedan over this.

Consumers - NEVER EVER buy a Hyundai product or else you may be LEFT FOR DEAD just like me. I bought a brand new Santa Fe Hybrid Luxury in 2023 and my experience so far has been a nightmare to say the least. The vehicle has major safety issues (e.g.: vehicle failing to slow down/ stop on cruise control), providing photo & video evidence to prove the issue was not enough for Hyundai Canada to take immediate action and instead I have been left to battle this by sending it for a million diagnostics tests. Finally, I had no option but to take them the matter for arbitration (an alternative to a court). The judgement is coming soon but it is shocking that a manufacturer (& Transport Canada) would allow this to happen. This could have easily become a criminal case if an accident would have occurred and then I would have been blamed for it when it is truly a technical snag. If you buy their product, your safety and that of the public will be at risk and Hyundai would only be silent spectators!

I want them in India, 1.5L is maximum we are getting

[@NeoGee]

I can't believe you didn't include the 2003 Suzuki Vitara! 😆

[@kododesign]

i generally like your comparo videos but putting a mazda cx30 at the bottom of that bunch? what are you smoking? :P

[@Jamal-ub1ko]

Least space plus Mazda's tech that typically lags behind the competition put it there. Realistically, most consumers in this class care more about space and tech than they do driving dynamics and fit and finish

[@re14437]

I get what Jamal is saying, but I would also go with the Mazda

[@Jamal-ub1ko]

@@re14437 I'd go with the Mazda3 Hatch over the CX-30 as I prefer its design. If I had to pick a subcompact SUV, the CX-30 would be my second choice after the Kona/Seltos

You give HP numbers but not torque? Do you know the importance of torque?

[@gianniforonda5842]

This is nice and all but bring back the wagons!

[@PickensDon]

I bought a BYD Yuan Plus for $28k and it’s an EV. Would blow all these away, I almost bought the Trax. Too bad they won’t let it go on sale in US (I live in Mexico). Good for companies like Tesla, bad for consumers. Great comparison!!

[@michaela3330]

Lol! Mazda cx30 comes after Trax and Kicks? 🤣😂 You are all clowns.

[@gregkramer5588]

If you watch other reviews you will see similar results except the Trax in often even higher.

[@michaela3330]

@ wrong, i watch them all and drove them all, this is ridiculous.

[@gregkramer5588]

@@michaela3330 Impressive, and I thought I was obsessed!

I had CX-30 for 3 years, putting 70k miles. Great car but after renting a CX-90, a CX-5, two Sonatas and a Kona during trips, I went for Santa Fe Hybrid 2024. Hyundai makes great cars these days.

[@wellfleetion]

Really, I haven't heard they make great cars, just the opposite. Ex got a brand new Hyundai Tucson prior to Covid and the check engine light was on constantly and brought in for "service" many times and her time wasted. She got rid of it before 70k and got a Mazda CX-30 and loves it. Good luck!

Honda HR-V seat is horrible. I hope the leather trim is a lot better than the basic seat. 9:53

[@TheHersonCastillo]

Yeah KZbin peeps, be nice in the comments 😀

[@bewater3484]

I want a wagon

[@stevehunter7402]

Sub compact? They’re huge

[@anthonypagano6384]

Where is the Kia Seltos and Jeep Compass and Chevrolet trailblazer and Mitsubishi eclipse cross and Hyundai Venue and dodge Hornet
